François Champsaur was born in Marseille but has been based in Paris since the late 80’s. His Mediterranean roots have influenced his work. The designer studied Fine Arts in Marseille and Arts Decorative in Paris (ENSAD). François Champsaur has started his interior design and furniture business in 1996. Since then, he accumulates prestigious achievements in the restoration area. His projects include, for example: Café de l’Alma, in Paris and Hôtel Montalembert in Paris.

From his earliest projects, François has displayed his ability to transform any space, considering each and every aspect from an architectural angle and with the finest detail. He intelligently reworks space, playing with light and volume, and compliments this with both elegant and contemporary furniture and fabrics.

Franz Potisek is one of the France’s best, fashionable and interesting interior designers. His love for the design and architecture started very early. He has discovered his passion for it in childhood. When he was only seven year old, he saw Versailles for the first time. He visited every corner it was possible to visit and became fascinated by its architecture and beauty. He fell in love with décor after visiting Versailles.

Anticipation of needs, perfection of details and extreme quality of the materials worked by the best craftsmen are his philosophy. The designer likes the idea of bringing back up to date something that is considered outdated. He also enjoys mixing periods and styles, genuine and fake, antique and modern. Potisek adores playing with contrasts, colours, prints, and imagining solutions to elegantly conceal the utilitarian

It was not by chance that François Joseph Graf, one of the best interior designers of the world, began his career at the Château de Versailles (1981-1984), as his mentor was the head curator of the time, Pierre Verlet, whose first lesson to his pupil was to teach him to look in order to keep to the style and philosophy of each of the creations – because the architecture, furniture, objects and fabrics all shared the same taste.

For François-Joseph Graf, architecture is a passion, its history a pleasure, its expression a profession, requiring a vocation that wants rigor and dedication, offering a new way to see, in order to get around the whole spirit of art, men and places to residences.
